Change Data - (The Easiest Way) - ADO

Hi everyone,

I have a database that has 3 Tables, none of them are linked together.

This is the Structure of the Database


Table1
Table1_Field1
Table1_Field2
Table1_Field3
USER_NAME


Table2
Table2_Field1
Table2_Field2
Table2_Field3
USER_NAME


Table3
Table3_Field1
Table3_Field2
Table3_Field3
USER_NAME


If you notice, USER_NAME is common in the 3 tables. Now here is the question. What is the easiest way to change the value for USER_NAME from "Tom" to "Harry", in all the 3 tables?

P.S. I'm using ADO

Its basic but Should work

Code:

---

Dim sSQL as string

sSQL = "UPDATE Table1 SET Table1.user_Name = 'Harry'" _
& " WHERE (((Table1.user_Name)='tom'));"

cnn.Execute sSQL

sSQL = "UPDATE Table2 SET Table2.user_Name = 'Harry'" _
& " WHERE (((Table2.user_Name)='tom'));"

cnn.Execute sSQL

sSQL = "UPDATE Table3 SET Table3.user_Name = 'Harry'" _
& " WHERE (((Table3.user_Name)='tom'));"

cnn.Execute sSQL

You may have to wrap it all in transactions to make sure no one is editing records the same time you are
